>>54867232very few people actually see legendary pokemon, but most people can just read about them anyways. like dialga and palkia being gods of spacetime but sinnoh citizens just read and see pictures about them in books. the sketch was something that the artist came up with on their own, y’know entirely a product of their imagination. they might’ve read a book about the legendary beasts/musketeers before the expedition and decided to just draw a fusion.
and the musketeer fusion doesn’t seem all that robotic, the vents are just markings from cobalions neckpiece. also look at a picture of iron crown, even it’s neck aren’t vents, it’s just blue crystals. the feet are from terrakion’s “shoes’ and it just has 2-segmented legs. the fusion’s eyes don’t seem robotic either
and an even bigger question is if heath actually saw Iron Leaves and Iron Crown, why would heath include a sketch of the fusion in his published book and not just ask the sketch artist to draw the actual Iron Leaves?
>tickled the artist's imagination, prompting this sketch of what other species that inhabit these depths might look like.this doesn’t seem like something heath would write if they actually saw the individual paradox musketeers. you don’t say “might look like.” this sounds more like something someone is pulling out of their ass
